2 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday November 14 2017 Inside FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK NOR’WEST NEWS News........................................3-7 TOP MARKS to the Fendalton- Waimairi-Harewood Community Board for getting behind residents and their traffic problems (see page 1). Karleen Edwards, the city council’s chief executive, and one very powerful individual, decided on the back of a staff recommendation to stop residents getting too involved in solving the traffic issues. That went down like a lead balloon with residents which Nor’West News reported three weeks ago. Now the community board has stood up to Dr Edwards and council staff and said residents should be a part of solving the problems. That means the issue won’t be thrashed out by an exclusive elected members club and their private workshops with few people knowing what has been said or discussed. Commonsense has prevailed. - Barry Clarke How to barbecue perfect ribeye FOOD 15 Local Views......................4 Schools...................................8 Community Events....11 Kidstuff...................................14 Sport...........................16-17 Health............................18-20 GET IN TOUCH General Enquiries Ph 379-7100 Classified Advertising Ph 379-1100 The Christchurch Star Company Ltd.

NOR’WEST NEWS Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday November 14 2017 3 News Skate park sites revealed • By Julia Evans SITES IN the Papanui Ward have been identified for a skate park but it could be up to 12 years before anyone gets to use it. City council staff narrowed the search for the suitable location for a park to Bridgewater Drainage Reserve, Craighead Reserve and Edgar Macintosh Park in Papanui or Owen Mitchell Park and Redwood Park in Redwood. The report said Owen Mitchell Park on Grimseys Rd is the St Andrew’s students play leading role in film awards The top two awards at the Canterbury Secondary Schools’ Film Festival were taken out by St Andrew’s College students. Twenty two films were screened at Hoyts last week, with two films from St Andrew’s – Beginners, written, directed and edited by Grace Dephoff, and Buddy, written, directed and edited by Logan McAllister. Beginners won best director as well as the supreme award for best overall film. Buddy won best screenplay and runnerup in the supreme award. most suitable. “There is space between the public toilet and playground that has suitable separation and natural surveillance from neighbours.” More than 20 other sites were identified, including Papanui High School, but were ruled out due to proximity to neighbours or space issues. The investigation came after the Papanui-Innes Community Board responded to calls from young people for a skate park in the area. “Papanui is very short of youth recreation facilities,” board chairwoman Ali Jones said. Currently, skaters have to go to St Albans, Burnside, Bishopdale or Belfast to find the closest park. Ms Jones said the board is throwing around the idea of expanding the concept into a larger indoor youth facility that would include a skate park. She said that is something that would be looked into further before pitching the proposal for the city council’s 2019-29 Long Term Plan. An estimate of required funding for the skate park would be about $360,000 over three years. In year one, $20,000 would be required for site investigation and selection, engagement with the public and preliminary design. The second would require $40,000 for more community engagement, detailed design and resource consent. Construction of the park itself would be about $300,000, which includes free wi-fi. The cost would change if a larger facility was approved. CREATIVE: New Zealand Broadcasting School head Tony Simons with St Andrew’s College students Jen Wells, Grace Dephoff and Elliot Wood.. In Brief JELLIE PARK UPGRADE Jellie Park Recreation and Sport Centre is set for an upgrade and repairs starting next month. The pools will be repaired and the indoor hydroslide will be replaced. Other work includes fixing cracks, painting and repairs to flooring, walls and ceilings, as well as upgrading fire systems and replacing wet area flooring with a non-slip, hard-wearing material. It will be done in stages over 18 months. ACCESS TO THE GROYNES Work on widening the road access to The Groynes Reserve is almost finished. Work is continuing on the replacement and upgrading of an existing culvert where it crosses the causeway at the entrance to the reserve. Widening of the road will allow for two-way traffic, as well as pedestrian access on both sides of the road over the causeway. MAIN NORTH RD PROPOSAL Public feedback on the city council’s plan to overhaul Main North Rd is open until Friday. The proposal is to prioritise public transport down the street in a bid to decrease congestion with a variety of upgrades, including a full-time bus lane. A “have your say” can be found on the city council’s website before the proposal goes to the planning stage.
